Florida painter, Everglades, Marco Island, artist Jo-Ann Sanborn

Oh, the places we've been and the things that we've seen! My husband and I are just back from a fantastic Mediterranean cruise, traveling with a group of compatible friends. We started with two days in Barcelona, a city filled with outdoor sculpture, exciting architecture and the famous and incredible Gaudi's Unfinished Cathedral. What a sight! Some of the bell towers have just been topped with fruit and look like an ice cream delight. Barcelona is a city we will put on the list for a longer visit in the future. From there the beautiful cruise ship 0Millennium became our home for the next two weeks. From the ship we visited several of Europe's most exciting places, ending with two days in Venice. I'll share some tidbits from our trip, and will be pointing again by tomorrow. As much fun as it was, there's no place like home, and I'm happy to exchange my walking shoes for some comfortable sandals and get back to the painting that I love.

Welcome

Hi! I'm Jo-Ann Sanborn, and I paint the Florida landscape, particularly the Everglades and in and around Marco Island.

I write about the unique and magical Everglades environment, the growing Marco Island arts community, and about how I go about the difficult task of trying to interpret the landscape I love in paint. I paint daily, visit the Everglades often, and do my best to post new paintings for you to enjoy three times a week.
